Available Copies Details Synopsis
Towards the end of the 1950s biologist, investigating the question of how art originated, came up with the idea of getting monkeys to paint pictures. Consequently, exhibitions were organized and attracted much controversy, catching the attention of artists such as Dali and Picasso. Monkey Painting places this colorful episode within the context of the human sciences. Thierry Lenain explores for the first time the origins of "monkey art"from the classic theme of the Monkey- Painter to the most recent experimentsshowing how this amazing activity can be part of a cultural history where modern art and evolutionary thought meet.
